22/06/2018
Jammu, Jun 21: Hundreds of Panthers Activists led by Sh. Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister held a massive demonstration at Exhibition Ground Jammu seeking the dissolution of J&K Legislative Assembly and holding of fresh elections in the state. The protesters raised slogans against the BJP led Central Govt and torched its effigy. They were addressed by senior leaders of the Party.
Describing the present political situation in the state as ripe for dissolution of Assembly, Mr. Harsh Dev Singh said that with almost all political parties having shown their reluctance to form the govt and already having conveyed their stand in media, it was BJP alone which had made a statement through its Ex Dy. CM Kavinder Gupta that they were "working on something".
Describing the statement of Kavinder Gupta as disturbing, Mr. Singh said that it had created apprehensions in political circles of possible attempts of horse trading, allurements and corrupt practices by the BJP. Reckoning that something nefarious was cooking up which would further malign the sanctity of the democracy and the constitutional propriety, Mr. Singh warned that any further mis-adventures by the BJP would cost the party heavily.
He held the Central government responsible for deliberately forcing the J&K Assembly to remain under suspended animation unconstitutionally and made a strong point that 'political coercion' could in no way prevail over the mandate of the Constitution. He urged upon the Hon'ble Governor to recommend the dissolution of the State's Assembly without any further delay and maintained that the prevalent political situation in the State warrants holding of fresh elections so that the people could once again elect a popular government as per their will and without any fear.
Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Rajesh Padgotra, Gagan Partap Singh, Shanker Singh Chib, Nirmal Kishore, Rajesh Gondhi, Neeraj Gupta, Capt. Narotam Singh, Ravinder Jamwal, Partap Singh, Rashpaul Singh, Rohit Sharma, Joginder Singh, Sansar Chand, Ashok Chouhan, Jeevan Sharma besides others.
